62 FI Tach Cable Boot

[Patrick S.]

How there a way to install a tach cable boot (Corvair type repo) over the rather large end of the cable assembly? Cutting the small end did not work because the bellows usually will split. Am I missing some trick?
Did the original boot come attached to the cable or did the original parts stretch enough to go over the cable nut? The repos don't.

The repos will stretch, check the archives for a solution. If you can't find it call me. I used a very small funnel, cut it down to size of end of cable nut, put the boot in hot water to soften it, then stretch it over funnel onto and over nut and onto cable.
